Walking into a corporate office with a suit and tie as your attire. You hold a high school diploma as well as a college degree. Your résumé is flawless and your criminal record is spotless. You enter the CEOs office and you are just what he is looking for. After the interview the CEO tells you thanks but you did have what he was looking for. You wonder why, and the reason is your speech. You missed out on a chance of having a six figure job because you were not able to speak the ?corporate? language.

If you are not able to speak proper Standard English try emulating someone who does. Even try attending an Oral Communications course. It is very important you learn how to expunge slang out of your vocabulary when the time is appropriate. Oral Communication will teach you how to code-switch. Code-Switching is being able to know when to speak proper English and when to transfer back overt to slang. I realized that when someone speaks proper English others are found to grimace and make fun. This results of that is chronic misuse of the English language.

Oral Communications teaches you to be compatible with Standard English. It also teaches you to write in Standard English. Personally, oral communications is a great course of studies. It helps you for whenever and whatever you are ready to do. It especially helps you for ?the real world?. Without oral communications our community would remain abysmal. Being African-American we are already viewed as being uneducated, uncouth, and an ignorant society. So it is very important for us to learn to speak proper English by taking an oral communications class.

Most people say that speaking proper is also known as ?talking white?. For an African-American speaking proper English is known as anomalous. I am very austere when it comes down to proper speaking. I do not think it is talking white and oral communications helps you efface that thought. Oral communications will...

Prompt: Face to Face and Mediated relationships
Page count: 5
The benefit to having a face-to-face relationship / conversation is all the signs a person can pick up on without the sender knowing they are being sent. The senders most of the time do not know that they are even sending the messages, which can sometimes be good or bad, depending on the situation a person is in.
Examples of nervous behavior would be fidgeting, rubbing of hands together, looking away, shaking a leg, even stuttering, or staying silent while nervous perhaps, which could or could not be bad. If talking with a person that one likes and that person acts nervous, then that might be a sign of one’s admiration. One could cross one’s arms in a defensive posture, look away or not at whomever as a sign of being upset with that person, or make funny noises to just be disruptive and show disgust. That can also be useful if the other partners are not good at expressing themselves with words and constructive verbal communication. By reading their body language, one can change the direction of a discussion or be more accommodating to their needs and desires, to improve the outcome of the conversation.
The challenge with face-to-face relationships is just that. A person may have to face the other persons. One may not want to face them due to the fact one has...

...LESSON 1. MASS COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE
PRELIM Period, HAU
What is Mass Communication?
“Does a fish know it’s wet?” influential cultural and media critic Marshall McLuhan would often ask. The answer, he would
say, is “No.” The fish’s existence is so dominated by water that only when water is absent is the fish aware of its condition.
So is it with people and mass media. The media so fully saturate our everyday lives that we are often unconscious of their
presence, not to mention their influence.
Media : a. informs us
b. entertain us
g. insult our intelligence
i. help define us
c. delight us
d. annoy us
e. move our emotions
f. challenge our intellects
h. often reduce us to mere commodities for sale to the highest bidder
j. shape our realities
A fundamental theme of this course is that media do none of these alone. They do it with us as well as to us through mass
communication, and they do it as a central cultural force in our society.
